Lyrics and translation Eric Burdon & The Animals - Tabacco Road
I
was
born
in

My
mother
died
Ma
mère
est
morte
My
daddy
got
drunk
Mon
père
s'est
saoulé
They
Left
me
here
Ils
m'ont
laissé
là
To
die
or
grow
Pour
mourir
ou
grandir
In
the
middle
of
Au
milieu
de
Tobacco

Grew
up
in

rouillée
All

ever
owned

Tout

jamais
possédé

Was
hangin'
on

Était
accroché

Le

How

I
loathe
